Oh man... We don't need old segments being pulled in :( :(

We just had this happen in nodelist.361, but I found out later that was due to
an incorrect segment being sent up the line to the respective RC.. in other
words, I thought it happened because of Makenl, but it was user 'error' at the
NC level.

When that happened in #361, it was a pita, because I had to create an
'otherlist' for a node that went missing over here.  The Dailylist didn't help
the next day since it also used the bad regional segment that day.

Anyway, Andrew, I just want to let you and others know that I appreciate all
the work you other folks are doing in coding and testing MakeNl_ng.

Take care,
Janis
